Retail Business Competitiveness Composition And Evolution Of The Study

Competitiveness of enterprises has been one of the most important topics in the field of corporation management in recent years. However, the results of research on competitiveness of retailers are few and limited, which provides a creative opportunity for this paper. Retailing industry is quite important for the development of economy and society. Retailers, especially large retailing corporations, have dominant power in the market. With its increasingly stronger influence on suppliers and customers, retailers' impact on vertical competition structure has been enhanced. At the same time, the competition among retailers is also becoming much more intense. With the progressing of Information Economy, Knowledge Economy and Global Economy, some environmental factors which were easily mastered by enterprises are disintegrating, and the business environment of enterprises are transforming from relatively steady statistic one to more and more complex dynamic one, the basic characters of enterprises' competition are changing, a new hyper competition time is coming. Although the vies is identified broadly that competence is the headspring of corporation's competition advantages, under the new situation, what on earth are the key dimensionalities, system structure and evolving mechanism is needed to be researched and studied on deeply. Based on the modern management theory and system theory, particularly on the basic idea of complex adaptive system and the basic principle of complex system evolvement, this thesis hand a profound study on the key dimensionalities of corporation's competence, the relativity and composing force of the key dimensionalities of corporation's competence, the relativity and composing force of the key dimensionalities, the dimensionalities-levels system of corporation's competence and the level evolving mechanism, etc.The textual main work and innovation points include: Firstly, it brought forward the viewpoint of three lays of corporation's competence structure (market and profit, technology and business operation, resources and foundation) -two dimensionalities (horizontal dimensionality, vertical dimensionality), established the concept model of the corporation's competence system structure.Secondly, it brought forward the key dimensionalities of the corporation's competence -the basic concepts and characters of horizontal dimensionality and vertical dimensionality, based on the three lays of the corporation's competence structure, established key dimensionalities measurement system and model, and made application studies on the index system and measurement model.Thirdly, it established the related relevancy structure model between key dimensionalities of the corporation's competence, corporation integral competition ability and corporation efficiency, presented key dimensionality's relativity analysis model and vector.Fourthly, posted the bifurcation mechanism and emergence mechanism of the level evolvement of corporation's competence, pointed out that the reasons of senior lever competence's emergence are scale effect and structure effect; and established a concept model of corporation's competence system evolution.
